22 Now let’s visit a Shakespearian Rhyme Scheme.Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed;

23 But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;Now shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growest:So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
